Cathy has been named one of " New York's Super Lawyer", a list limited to only 5% of the attorneys in the New York Metropolitan area. In 2016, Ms. Flanzig was included in the list of "The Top Woman Attorneys in the New York Metropolitan Area" for obtaining a record setting result of $3 million dollars for the victim of a motorcycle crash.
